Last year it was his ribs. The season before he played in the playoffs with a broken leg IIRC

I mean, have you seen how our team handles rookies and new players? Id be surprised if he seen a handful of snaps. Dude wouldnt have 1 target here.

Because Brown at least has some experience with Josh Allen. Apparently our offense is so complicated that Ty wouldnt have been able to play more than a few snaps until 2025. Even Beasley had only 6 snaps last week and he said the offense is pretty much the same.

Thats fair. I still think even without Hill that Reid is so good he is just able to scheme guys open that a lot NFL QBs can have success in. Obviously not anywhere near the success of Mahomes but I think wild card type success.

Nice change of pace question! I am back and forth on it. I could afford to go. I am not sure how or where to get tickets or if there are complete package deals that include tickets, airfair, hotel, etc because its something I have never done before. Even though I could afford it, I am not sure I am willing to pay that kind of price. Im not like wealthy or anything so it's a big chunk to me. On one hand it's a once in a lifetime like thing. Not totally because I could have went during the Kelly years but close enough that it may never happen again. On the other hand it's pretty pricey and I don't know if I could justify that expense for such a short time/experience. Seems like the OP and I think about the same on this one.

Bills - 13 Bengals - 11

Callups in the playoffs are unlimited. I wouldnt expect all that much from Beasley. He lost a step last year and spent most of this year playing basketball. As far as ramping him up... he had 11 snaps against Miami and only 6 against Chicago. Thats not ramping up. Im sure thats probably in part due to us running the football more last week. People expecting Beasley to come in here playing like his 2020 self arent being realistic. Its more likely to be his last year self at best where he caught the ball and fell down 2 yards short of the first down marker.

Probably cant stop their run game either.

My rooting interests are Buffalo over Cinci and anything that knocks Miami out of the playoffs. I dont even care if its the Pats or Jets over Miami. I fricken hate Miami fans with a passion. Miami not making the playoffs at all after all their fans thinking they were superbowl bound is at the top of my list of happiness second only to the Bills winning the superbowl.

I wouldnt put Mahomes in there. KC was in the playoffs like 4 out 5 years with Alex Smith. I wouldnt put Hurts in there either. Their offense still had pretty much the same production this past game with their backup. Maybe that changes this week or another week, I dont know but their offense didnt miss a beat with their backup. Burrow I am uncertain. Depends on what backup they have I guess. They still have probable the best trio of receivers in the league. Im not trusting Barkley or Keenam with this offense. We lack skill players and our oline sucks. Neither of those guys are mobile enough. I didnt trust Tribuski last season either. They might win a game against a bottom of the league team but our O takes a nose dive IMO without Josh. Im not saying that those guys teams would win a superbowl on their backups but I do think they would still have pretty good success and make the playoffs. Especially the Chiefs. Reid just does offense better than most.

Whatever mentality they need to win the game.

yes Allen does need to clean it up but it always amazes me the bias with some of these guys. Mahomes was tied in ints going into the Chicago game but no one mentions that. Burrow has 4 ints over the last 3 games and 6 over the last 6. No one mentions that either. It’s only a problem for Allen.

Bombshell trade to NE for Mac Jones 🤣

Tre isnt up to full form of his all pro self but he has still done a good job. Yeah, he has allowed some plays but so has every corner in the league.

The Bills are who they are. A top team in the AFC just like the Bengals and just like KC. That wont change no matter how this game unfolds.

Well I dont think we are going to run again like we did in Chicago. Im just saying we can have some success running the football. Both Motor and Cook have had some nice runs in a lot of games but we are a passing team.

Should make for the best GDT ever! It would probably be white jersey with blue pants if the Bengals are wearing white pants.

Yes it was pretty scary. I drove myself to the hospital and walked myself in. Wife was with me but I drove. Not sure what went wrong but something did. I have learned to deal with my problems but it still isnt easy. I dont want to derail the thread and I have written my entire story in another thread a long time ago. Just wanted to add my experience to this thread because it applies.

Yeah, I have felt like that too. I hear people say that the offense is largely the same. Beasley said something like that when he got signed. Yet, the offense does not look the same to me. I dont study film or anything but it just not seem the same to me.

We do run those plays. They are usually stuffed at the line though.

Disagree. When Tua or Mahomes throws a ball for 5 yards and that receiver runs 20 yards more, it makes your offense a whole new super power. Hines is actually our fastest guy on offense now but we havent used him much and when we have its usually an overthrow.

Let them think this all the way through the playoffs and maybe we catch a team off guard. We can run the football. We just dont.
